Charities & giving

Backpacks 4 VIC Kids was founded in Victoria in 2014. Their purpose is to provide crisis packs and gift packs to vulnerable children, aged from birth to seventeen years. This mission quickly expanded to bring comfort, ease anxiety and to restore dignity. Often children are relocated quickly without much more than what they are wearing at the time of displacement. They now deliver six programs supporting children in crisis.

With the support of our customers, publishers and distributors, Book Systems now prepare an annual donation of children's books to Backpacks for VIC Kids, for inclusion in their Christmas For Kids in Care packs. If you have additional children's products you're willing to donate, Book Systems is offering free national and inter-tasman transportation of those goods. Please let us know what you'd like to donate, and where we can collect it, by clicking the link below and completing a short form.
